German Film Funding Changes ‘Will Have a Very Positive Effect on the Production Scene,’ Medienboard Chief Kirsten Niehuus Says
Medienboard chief Kirsten Niehuus is confident that the changes to film funding proposed by the German government will have a 'very positive effect.'
On a happier note, the Berlin government raised Medienboard’s budget by Euros 6 million over the next two years, which will be targeted at the exhibition sector in the region, allowing for the upgrading of facilities at movie theaters. Actors Lily Farhadpour and Esmail Mehrabi flew the flag for “My Favorite Cake,” and Viktor Kossakovsky, director of “Architecton,” also attended. Among the upcoming productions that Medienboard is supporting are Tom Tykwer’s “The Light,” “Yellow Letters,” directed by Ilker Çatak, who helmed the Oscar-nominated “The Teachers’ Lounge,” and a new Wes Anderson project, which will shoot at Berlin’s Studio Babelsberg.
